Ep #9: The World According to Star Wars

What a crazy month. In the world of Star Wars we all just
experienced in person or through the power of Internet, Star Wars
Celebration. Here in the world of current events and politics, lots
has changed as well. In this weeks episode the Beltway Banthas
share with you some audio from AEI's book talk on "The World
According to Star Wars", a love letter to Star Wars by Cass
Sunstein (former head of regulatory affairs in the White House
under the Obama Admin). Cass talks through the chapters of his
book, offering a broad view of why Star Wars was successful, and
what lessons we can take away from it as observers of politics.
This is a book we highly recommend..for a larger view of the Force.
We are also joined by Zuri Davis (Rare Politics) for a dissection
of the shooting in Dallas, and the deep & worsening racial
divide in America today. This is a part of our developing series
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to
suffering." The dynamic between people of color and police can be
looked at through the prism of Yoda's warning to Anakin, so we dive
into this tough topic. Thanks for coming on this wild ride of Star
Wars + Politics with us! Drop us a review on iTunes and connect
with the show on Twitter. @BeltwayBanthas @Stephen_Kent89
